Chardonnay

2013 Central Coast Chardonnay

Lost Dog Lane Chardonnay from the 2013 vintage showcases a delightful expression of the Central Coast region, known for its cool coastal breezes and ideal growing conditions. This Chardonnay presents a beautifully pale lemon hue in the glass, inviting you to explore its aromatic profile. On the nose, it reveals vibrant notes of crisp green apples and juicy pears, complemented by subtle hints of zesty citrus and a touch of vanilla from well-integrated oak. The palate is characterized by a medium body that gracefully balances its bright acidity, creating a refreshing mouthfeel that is both lively and satisfying. With moderate fruit intensity, it offers a harmonious blend of fruit flavors and a clean, crisp finish—making it an exceptional companion for seafood dishes or creamy pasta. This Chardonnay truly embodies the essence of its growing region, delivering a wine that is approachable yet complex, reflecting both craftsmanship and terroir.

Central Coast

California's Central Coast might be a bit quieter than Napa or Sonoma to the north, but this lesser-known region produces many world-class wines. Enjoying incredible terroir along its vast 280-mile stretch—from San Francisco Bay to Santa Barbara—Central Coast wines are increasingly in demand. Its position between the Pacific Coast Ranges and the Southern Coast Ranges is key to its quality, with many cool-climate AVAs offering elegant Pinot Noir, Chardonnay, Syrah and Merlot. In the hotter parts of the Central Coast, away from the coastal fogs and cold mountain slopes, Cabernet Sauvignon, Cabernet Franc, Syrah, Grenache and Mourvèdre are exceptional.
